[MonoTouch] Please advise wrt two apps with same source files

[Michael Muegel]

In situations like this for Windows development I have created an
application library. You would have two MonoTouch app projects that
reference this library, which in turn reference all your other support
libraries. Each app project just has a few files to bootstrap things and
invoke the common app library with a flag for the mode/etc.
